The property is gorgeous! The owners live close to the cabins and are so kind and considerate! Dianne was so easy to communicate with and took care of everything! They went above and beyond to help us with an unexpected loss of our venue for a family event and thanks to their generous hospitality we were able to still make it work! We also enjoyed an afternoon out on the kayaks provided at the cabins. I would absolutely recommend staying here. Thank you both!Ashley & The Boys

This is a perfect place for fishing, atv riding and/or boating. It was quiet and quaint. Even though it sleeps 6, it was a little tight with 4 of us during the day though as not a lot of room to sit/move. The 1 TV was very old and didn't work. A window, 1 of 2 fans provided and a shade were also broken. Fabulous communication with extremely nice owners, use of canoes and kayaks steps from the door! Amazing fireworks display by owners right outside the door (though the 2 dogs hated it, we loved it!)Tips/tricks/FYI:Bring: Trash bags, paper towels (they gave 1), toilet paper (just in case, though they gave us 3)Gets very hot at times especially in the single bedroom if the door is shut. There is an AC but in the kitchen only and it was a bit musty smelling but worked enough to help. There is no pool as the listing states. There is the lake steps from the cabin though.Private Charcoal grill (charcoals were on porch) and a shared firepit (bring wood).Regular coffee pot (filters provided, bring coffee).Well water (ok to drink, cook with etc.)The above were questions I had or things I look for when looking at booking or reviews so wanted to write it out this way specifically. All in all it's a nice little cabin for the REAL Maine life. It just wasn't enough to personally keep my family entertained without enough space to be comfortable just hanging out, but that's just us!

This is our third year coming up here from CT. It just absolutely breathtaking in how beautiful it is. Diane and John are amazing hosts and are there to help and answer any questions. We had a beautiful week to spend outdoors, canoeing, kayaking and fishing. Perfect place to relax and unwind. Thank you for everything. Hoping to come back again next year!
